Iowa's Jingle 'Cross (cyling)

[Biffbradford]

The race is Jingle 'Cross Rock held in Iowa City, IA last weekend. The last regular non-championship race in a very long cycling season. It snowed 2 inches the night before. Enjoy. (forgive the watermark)

Chicago has it's Super Girl, Iowa has "Speedo Man" :confused:

Oh, see the hill in the back ground? They ride to the top of that.

Climbing Mount Krumpit. Even the Pro's could not ride the whole way up, it was just too slippery. The red fence in the distance is half way to the top.

You can change bikes if you break down, but no short cuts!

looks like fun for both parties. You did a good job with what looks like not much light. :) good pictures.

That was a hard day to shoot. Low light but with snow falling so if you used too much flash the picture was all snow flakes, high humidity fogging the lenses, frozen hands, and wet ground keeping me from getting many low angles. Toughest day of the year!
